When Cathy & Jon decided to have a wedding the rules were simple. They wanted something sweet and meaningful. She didn’t want to be the center of attention. No walking down the aisle {she walked from the side}, no formal pictures of herself, and her beautiful daughters and handsome son were to be included. Jon just wanted everyone to have fun with some ol’fashion wedding traditions, southern style, like his accent.
The couple shared a love of music which was evident in every aspect of their wedding. The Silver Trumpet restaurant was the perfect place for the dancing couple. Big Brass instruments decorated both the restaurant and the reception. A stand up Bass welcomed guests in, and a live band inside beckoned them to stay and have fun.
To both enhance and soften the décor the bride chose Gold satin linens for all her tables with gorgeous and full centerpieces from the always elegant French Buckets.
The Officiant, Thomas Potwora, is an School Principal who discovered his knack for weddings by chance. A friend asked him to conduct their ceremony and he took the job very seriously. After rave reviews he began receiving calls from guests asking him to conduct their weddings. He combined his creative writing talents with his passion for making each wedding unique.
Sweet and meaningful certainly described this wedding, and the couple’s relationship in general.
The challenge with this event was finding a perfect middle ground. The Bride, Cathy did not want to be showy and tried to keep everything on a smaller scale, but also wanted everything to be grand and beautiful and it was just that!
